For today, Paul in Thessalonians does not ask us to talk incessantly, nor to listen incessantly, still less to read incessantly.
What he does recommend is that we make prayer a way of life,
it is to have a relationship with God,
It is to remain in communion with the Father.
To pray without ceasing,
is to be constantly in the presence of God, to be always close to him,
It is to love him.
Let us be subject to the Father’s will and fully aware of our Lord.
Paul exhorts the Philippians not to worry but to persist in prayer and to have an attitude of gratitude,
The apostle encourages the believers in Colosse to persevere in prayer and in Ephesus he advises them to use prayer as a weapon for spiritual warfare.
Lack of prayer makes us vulnerable, fragile, dependent on ourselves.
We are in a new season, let’s stop being seduced by false feelings of security, let’s go into deep waters, let’s leave the physical blessings and focus on the spiritual blessing.
We have already longed too much for the ephemeral, the abstract, it is time to resort to the continuous, persistent prayer that gives value to our Christian life.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – Pray without ceasing.
Fast and pray to be quick to pray.
Praying without ceasing is not being locked in a room every day, at all hours, crying out to God all the time, it is just developing an atmosphere of communion so that everything in us is always connected to the throne of glory.
Let our hearts be turned to God, thirsting for the Lord at all times.
This verse is a command, a command.
We need it, so let us not let the world set their pace for us and let us run and hide under the wings of Yaweh.
Good morning to us
Good day to you
